pixilization on non hd channels with hdmi cable connected to HDPVR receive. HD channels come in crystal clear, non hd channels are all bitmapped and horrible

- I guess I should have added more information. When I bought the TV I was using a digital cable box (not HD) and all the channels displayed well. I switched to HD PVR receiver when I saw how much clearer the picture in HD was at a friends place with the same (Shaw) HDPVR. Once it was all connected with the HDMI cable, the non-hd channels had much worse reception than I previously was getting with just the plain old digital receiver! Very frustrated by this! I was thinking it was the improper type of HDMI cable but reading other peoples problems with this tv, it seems like I'm just screwed...
Your TV is not at fault, it is showing you the difference between HD and non HD channels. HD TV's work great with HD scorces but don't usually look that great with standard definition, Also the non-HD channels are more likely to be heavily compressed which makes them look bad too.

- I think the limitations are still in your cable service not the TV. Try different inputs such as a DVD player or VHS tape player. If they look acceptable then the cable companies delivery of non HD channels is to blame.

You know, I think you're right. The cable company would never actually say that their service is flawed. They blamed the TV. Thanks anyway!
